Music Hall and the Cincinnati Museum Center, both desperately in need of renovations, could benefit from the next round of capital improvement money for Ohio's 37 public universities and colleges.

As he did two years ago when he scrapped a formula for distributing the money, Gov. John Kasich on Friday asked presidents from Ohio's public colleges to divvy up state money to pay for capital improvements on their campuses. Last time, the capital requests came to $400 million. The state hopes to be able to allocate more money this time, state budget director Tim Keen said Friday.
